Karwa Chauth 2021: Can husband fast on behalf of his sick wife?

Karwa Chauth is the festival that shows married women love and respect towards their husbands. To observe one of the most popular festivals in India, women observe fast throughout the day and end it after worshipping the moon.

Women keep fast this day for the long and healthy life of their partner. This year, Karwa Chauth will be celebrated on October 24.

As per Hindu belief, women can’t quit their fast in mid-way as it brings bad luck. In case, women are unable to keep the Karwa Chauth fast due to some health issue then they need not worry about the rituals as their partners can do that.

If a woman is sick then her husband can observe the Karwa Chauth fast by following all the rituals and traditions of the festival.

Husband can perform the puja rituals, including worshipping the moon. If a woman wants to keep the fast, then she can observe by consuming fruits.

If your wife is pregnant or admitted to the hospital, then her husband can also do Karwa Chauth puja. As the sick person is not allowed to observe fast, hence, the woman can eat fruits and complete the fast by offering arghya to the moon.
